This cabin is located in a beautiful remote wooded area of the upper peninsula. Wildlife, birds and insects are abundant. Mosquito protection is necessary various times of the year. Guests should bring mosquito spray, protective clothing and minimize opening doors.

Wild Blueberry plants are abundant on the property and start in late July early August. No limit on how many you can pick. The Paradise area tends to get a lot of snow which translates into lots of spring melt making this ideal for blueberries. Cranberries can also be found in the Paradise area.

Note blackout dates due to snow melt and breakdown of snowmobile trail.

This would make a great place for a solo or group retreat away from intense city life.

Any preppers out there might gain some valuable experience from the off grid design of this cabin as well
as testing your survival skills in the deep woods.
